Fuel policy editor
Depending on the regulations used for flight planning, different fuel
planning rules may apply.
As delivered, PFPX supports several fuel policies, like flights conducted
under US Domestic operations, US Flag operations and EU-OPS. You may
specify additional policies, especially if you fly for operators registered
outside the United States and those countries regulated by EU-OPS.
The Fuel Policy Editor is a very sophisticated tool to configure fuel plan-
ning rules to satisfy a wide variety of legal planning requirements. As
creating fuel policies requires more detailed knowledge of flight plan-
ning, the tool is designated for advanced users.
The fuel policies records support specification of trip fuel rules, alternate
fuel rules, contingency/IFR reserves, final reserves/holding fuel and
ETOPS fuel requirements for flight plans, using names that may vary by
fuel policy (hence the description fields).
